Five dedicated people have been running their socks off in preparation for next month’s London Marathon.

If that wasn’t impressive enough, they’re running to raise funds for the people we support at Certitude.

Meet Richard

"It's a fantastic challenge and to be able to do it in your home city for a fantastic charity is too good an opportunity to miss!

For me it's the ultimate test, I'm never going to run further than this and I'll probably never do it again, so it's really exciting."

Meet Sarah

"All the way back in April 2010 I ran the inaugural Brighton Marathon...my second attempt was abysmal - I think I cried for about 24 of the 26 miles! So now, 11 years on, my motivation is back, and I have a fantastic opportunity to end my marathon running days on a high."

Meet Abigail

"I believe that a community can only be judged by the way it supports the less able and less privileged; for those reasons, I believe that it would be a pleasure and honour to be part of the Certitude team. "
